“The cost of doing nothing costs everything!”

I heard these words at a Writer’s Conference I attended in October. The main character of any story must be willing to make the necessary sacrifice to reach their goal or solve a problem. The main character may have to deal with the depth of the forbidden, human personalities, powers of persuasion, and what motivates.

Deep stuff.

For sure, we write our life stories day-by-day. Haven’t most of us had to deal with the depth of the forbidden? Human personalities? Powers of persuasion by outside or internal forces?

What motivates is a hard issue?  What inspires and motivates one person may not inspire the guy next door. But, I think if we keep prayer at the forefront of our lives, we can survive any deep-dive situation (like the conference.)  We can always look to the Lord’s Prayer as our guide for prayer. We can search the Bible to learn how to deal with the forbidden, human personalities, and powers that think they influence.

But we all need the greatest motivator of how to live our life. And, He is the main character of the Bible, Jesus. That is who taught me, the cost of doing nothing costs everything.
